Chapter 124 Abandoned Soldier
After hearing this, the blackhead immediately got up and shouted, "Big boss! If you are willing to lead a man tomorrow, you can go and take these damn dry silk... Oh! It should be cleaned up by the Spaniards! I hope you will be invited by your subordinates!"
The one-eyed dragon stood up and said, "Big boss! Today, my subordinates are really tight! As soon as the war started, his ship was destroyed by these bastards! I didn't even catch up with the good play behind! This time, my subordinates are willing to ask the boss to allocate a few boats to help the black brothers clean up those Spaniards!"
For a while, these brothers under Yu Xiaotian stood up enthusiastically and beg for orders, demanding to go to war tomorrow to clean up the Spaniards stranded on the island of Taiwan.
But in the end, they were all ticketed back by Yu Xiaotian.
"You all take a break first! We didn't bring many soldiers this time. Basically, they are all from the sailors. There are not many soldiers on Keelungburg. Although we have ships and guns, this battle has to be fought on the shore. If we want to eat so many Spanish infantry in one bite, it is obvious that even if our teeth are good enough, I'm afraid we will collapse a few teeth!
These Spanish infantry are not easy to deal with. In the past, the phalanx tactics I learned by the soldiers, including the new soldiers of the navy, were the first to come from these Spaniards! Playing this, they are good players, so even if we can eat them, I'm afraid we will lose a lot of casualties!
For these Spaniards, now they have become trapped beasts, why do we have to play with them again? You should know that once these guys are in a hurry, there will be a battle of trapped beasts, and we may be devoured by them at that time!
So I'm not going to solve them by force!" Yu Xiaotian said.
Blackhead immediately asked, "Big boss, we don't need force. Can't we just wait for them to surrender?" According to the report of the sent scouts, they have set up a camp on the shore after landing. Although it is not strong, it can last for a period of time. Can't we spend time with them like this?
Yu Xiaotian shook his head and smiled, "Don't look at them too high!" When I came back, several interpreters had been arraigned. According to them, these Spaniards did not intend to stay there for a long time. They were just ordered to land and prepare to find a way on the shore to attack Fort Keelung.
And their commander did not unload all the goods on the ship at all. Now most of the goods have either sunk with the ship or been pulled back by us, and the food left by the infantry on the shore is not enough for them for five days. Even if they save food, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for a few days.
Now they only have one ship to escape. Even if he can ask for help and ask for reinforcements to arrive here, the nearest will have to go to Manila in Luzon. I'm afraid it will take two months to go back and forth as soon as possible, and the sea is about to be windy. It is impossible for them to come back within two months!
What's more, as far as I know about them, this time they have used almost all the troops that can be used, but as a result, they are almost completely destroyed here. I doubt whether they can still gather the troops and ships to rescue!
So for these Spaniards on the shore, we should not rush to deal with them. Let them panic for a few days first, and then it's not too late! After they eat all the food, I don't believe they can still fight against us with empty stomachs!"
As soon as everyone heard it, they didn't say anything more. Yu Xiaotian arranged blackheads, sent a group of soldiers, divided into several small teams, dived near the barracks on the shore of the Spanish, lurked in the mountains and forests, stared at the Spaniards, stopped them from looking for food and water, and trapped them to death on the shore.
As for the sailors, they pulled out some ships in better condition and blocked them on the sea three shifts a day to prevent the escaped ship from sneaking back and rescuing the Spaniards on the shore.
In fact, even if Anthony sneaked back at this moment, I'm afraid that his boat can't stuff so many people into the boat and take them back to Manila, so Yu Xiaotian thinks that the escaped ship at this time should have been on the way back to Manila in fear. I don't understand that they have the courage. Go back to this place where they almost destroyed the whole army.
In the next few days, the Spaniards who were stranded here on the shore were panicked and curled up in the camp on the shore.
The scene of the fierce battle between their fleet and the sea wolf's fleet on the sea all fell into their eyes. When the sea wolf's fleet came, the infantry stood on the shore and were still very excited and felt that they could finally avenge them.
At the beginning of the war, when they watched their big splint boats keep spitting flames like fire dragons and fragmenting the pirates' ships, they stood on the shore and shouted for their fleet.
But the next scene on the sea threw their hot hearts into the ice cave. First, their speedboat fleet was sunk in the water one by the pirate slings*, and then the big ship with the speedboat was captured by pirates.
Instead, their fleet began to get entangled with the sea wolf fleet. Until this time, these Spaniards realized that things seemed to be moving in a direction that was not good for them.
Although these pirate ships are not very good, they are all like hungry wolves, biting their big ships.
Originally, their big splints looked majestic, but once surrounded by these pirate fleets, they found that their big splints had become a clumsy bull, surrounded by a large group of wolves and desperately bitten, no longer the prestige they had at the beginning of the war.
These pirates were extremely fierce. They braved the fierce artillery fire of these big splints and rushed desperately to bite these big ships. After a long time, they saw one of their big ships ignited a fire.
Then they saw that the fleet that made them proud began to collapse, trying to escape from the wolves one by one, but they could not do so. Then a boat was ignited by the enemy and burned into a ball on the sea.
At this time, they had seen that their fleet had been defeated in this naval battle. Now they no longer imagined their fleet to slaughter these pirates, but began to pray to God that their fleet could get out of trouble quickly, connect them, and leave this place quickly.
But the final result made them despair to the extreme. Their big ships were killed one after another under the bite of these sea wolves. In the end, only the ship of Commander Anthony was left. With its rough skin, thick flesh and sharp artillery, it reluctantly escaped. Out of the war circle.
But their commander was powerless to pick up the people left on the shore again. Under the pursuit of the sea wolves, they fled and disappeared far away on the sea.
At this time, these Spanish infantry were completely desperate. When they saw that ships with sea wolves began to come towards their shore, they dispersed and ran back to their camp. Under the leadership of their infantry commander, they began to work crazily.
They forced the craftsmen and slaves brought with the ship to constantly raise and thicken their barracks for them, and personally threw themselves into the construction, using the strength to breastfeed, and build their originally simple camp into a rather strong barracks in just a short time.
They built walls, dug trenches, cut wood on the spot, set up horses, sharpened wooden sticks, and inserted them outside the camp. In short, they thought of all the ways they could think of. They were afraid that the camp was not strong enough to let the pirates rush into their barracks or collapse their camp, and finally slaughter them all. .
But in the next few days, they found that the pirates seemed to ignore them. Although the pirates' ships were still patrolling on the sea, they never attacked them, and there was no large number of pirates coming to surround their camp, as if they did not exist at all. So I hung them on the shore.
However, these Spaniards still dare not take it lightly. In the next few days, they continued to expand and strengthen their barracks every day. Originally, it was just an ordinary camp. Under the high-intensity construction of hundreds of people for several days, they actually formed a quite strong earth castle, various fortifications and royal facilities. Shi is quite complete. Although there is a lack of artillery, it has become very difficult to break through this barracks with their hundreds of fire rope guns.
But a few days later, the Spaniards found that all their efforts were in vain, because their food was about to be eaten up.
Only then did they understand why these pirates were not in a hurry to attack them and directly ignored them and left them on the shore. It turned out that the pirates had already expected that they did not have much food and did not need to attack them at all, and time would defeat them.
So these Spaniards were even more afraid. They prayed every day that Anthony could come back and pick them up, but their daily expectations ended in disappointment.
In fact, they also know in their hearts that Anthony still can't beat these pirates with a complete fleet. Now he has only one boat left, let alone defeat these pirates.
At this time, it is estimated that Anthony had already taken his boat and was on the way to Manila in fear. He would not dare to return here and venture to rescue them. Otherwise, once his ship is trapped here again, they will be completely destroyed here.
